    The Nazi Star Wars lady was the Soviet sniper, I forgot who the anti-vax lady was. Some players used to joke saying Yuriko was the long lost Japanese daughter of Yuri from Red Alert 2. Btw, Red Alert 3 felt really fucking weirdly horny for no reason, Red Alert 2 had sexual jokes but both men and women were dressed in Sci-Fi armor and clothing for most of the time, even Tanya had a modest look. Tim Curry, JK Simmons and David Hasselhoff were pretty funny

      Jenny McCarthy. Let me double check it was her. Yeah. McCarthy portrayed Tanya.

      And yeah, weirdly horny. Red Alert I was reasonably straight. II got goofier. and then III was just horny cartoon ridiculousness.

        Yeah, this promotional video, compared to the RE1 intro.

        RE1 was always fun. “What if Einstein went back in time and merked Hitler so WWII didn’t happen?”

        Fucking lol the Allies aren’t wearing Nazi uniforms but aren’t not not Nazi uniforms. Tanya’s not wearing a shirt, but, like… she’s not wearing booty shorts either.

        The series also gave us the Hell March which we should probably bring back as a theme song because it’s so fucking good.

        I wouldn’t mind seeing FMV cutscenes come back. They were always fun. Usually very campy, which was the right mood for many games.

          I swear that there was a cringe 2005/6 Generals trailer for the GLA faction, where they would scream that meme “All your base are belong to us” in a cringe Arab accent.

          There was supposed to be a C&C Renegade 2 that would have taken place after Red Alert 2, and it had two story drafts. First one was an attempt to connect Red Alert 2 with the first C&C (I believe Red Alert 2 takes place in alternative 1970’s). The second one was a continuation of Yuri’s Revenge.

        I think Red Alert I was supposed to be a serious prequel to the first Command and Conquer game, the one about Tiberium and Kane, the only silly thing in that game was Stalin dancing in London. I have absolute no idea why EA did that to III, only to kill the entire franchise some years later.

        Gina Carano as Natasha Volkova

        I think she also did the voice acting for the character. Her ingame model and FMV looks nothing like the Art used in the game.

          I mixed up the characters, I was thinking of nova from star craft. Speaking of star craft the cargoplane lady had a cute voice

            Lani Minella as Dropship Pilot

            She is also the original voice of Rouge the Bat, that plant girl from that Sonic Mario Party game (Sonic Shuffle?), Luke from Proferssor Laylon, Poison from some final fight game, Isabella “Ivy” Valentine from Soul Calibur, literally half of the koopalings, some anime called Burn-Up Excess and Geneshift, Sindel and Sheeva from Mortal Kombat, and a game called Illbleed that also has the same guy who used to be Sonic’s voice.
